Rolex Submariner 16613 - sapphire vs acrylic crystal?

Hi all - I have a 1991 sub purple dial with an acrylic crystal. Watchfinder told me today the crystal should be sapphire. I wasn’t wise to this at all and have done some research since.

From reading online it would seem there was a cross over in the early 90s from acrylic to sapphire crystals so I was wondering does anyone know if the original crystal used would have been acrylic or if it would have been sapphire like WF has told me? TIA
